Outcomes are the latest recorded disposition of the listed charge, not predictions. Where a county records a guilty or nolo contendere plea as the disposition, it is counted as a conviction; a not-guilty plea alone is not counted as an outcome. Probation changes and other statuses remain separate when they do not establish the underlying outcome. A dismissal here applies to this charge, not to other charges in the same case. Percentages exclude charges without a recorded disposition and use 45,199 recorded dispositions and may not add to 100% because of rounding.

Attorneys in these records

All covered counties · Aggravated Assault With A Deadly Weapon · 2021–2025. Sentences use medians. Each attorney’s benchmark excludes their own associated records.

Loading comparisons…

These are recorded associations. Representation at sentencing is not established.

How comparisons work

Recorded associations do not establish who handled sentencing. Comparisons use the selected county coverage, charge variant, severity and disposition years; they do not adjust for prior convictions, enhancements or other case differences. Other matching records can include records with no verified attorney match.

Sentence medians use one eligible component of each type per convicted charge, with matching sentence and disposition dates. Suspended terms remain separate. A recorded term does not establish time served. Medians are shown alongside their record counts; they are descriptive comparisons, not an overall attorney rating.

Source snapshot: No dated records. Filings before 2017, records without a dated disposition, and dispositions preceding the recorded filing date are outside these comparisons. No original records are deleted.

How durations are compared

Durations are standardized using 365 days per year and 12 months per year, then displayed in readable units. Ranges and medians use individual recorded components, including mixed-unit terms. Original values are preserved; suspended terms remain separate.

Components can coexist in one sentence. Financial assessments can include costs and fees; they are not labeled as fines. A recorded term does not establish time served.
